Synopsis
Gebi Jiechu (2021) — a Chinese comedy-drama set at the edge of the Gobi Desert, also known internationally as Welcome to the Gobi — is available to watch online on iFILM. Running 86 minutes.
Xiao Sichuan lives in a small town next to a very large desert and has never stopped believing the next plan will be the one that works. This time he borrowed money from local loan sharks to fund it. That was the mistake. The idea still needs to come together, and the people he owes aren't built for patience.
Dry, deadpan, and unhurried — the film moves at the same pace as the landscape: flat, dusty, and indifferent to big ambitions. Eighty-six minutes of a man running in place at the edge of the Gobi, which turns out to be just enough. Stream Gebi Jiechu (2021) online on iFILM.
